Baby Sign Language Class

Join us for a four-class series on Tuesday mornings to learn about the benefits of using sign language to help build communication skills, reduce frustration, and enhance connections. This program is for children ages 0 to 2 years old and their caregivers. Each week families and their babies will enjoy a song and story and learn new signs:

Week 1: September 10 – Basic Signs

Week 2: September 17 – Playtime Signs

Week 3: September 24 – Bath Time Signs

Week 4: October 1 – Sleepy Time Signs

Please bring a blanket to sit on and toys for your little one to play with. This program requires registration and has limited capacity. Registration information is coming soon!

Registering for this program indicates a commitment to attend all four sign language classes. Please do not register for this program if you will miss more than one session. If you miss a second class, your spot will be given to the next person on the waiting list. We understand that illness and emergencies occur – if an absence due to unforeseen circumstances is communicated to staff, it will not be considered a no-show.
